GOVERNOR.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 10, 1922.

Application filed March 15, 1920. Serial No. 365,962.

To all whom. it may concern.

Be it known that 1, Emma J. Armani-son, a citizen of the United States, residing at Prophetstovvn. in the county oi Whiteside and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Governors. of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to means for controlling the speed for an internal combustion engine by a governor and the principal object of the invention is to provide a governor attachment for use on tractors when the tractor is being used for belt work.

Another object of the invention is to provide means for adjusting the parts so that the governor will act at any desired speer.

Still another object of the invention is to provide means for running the governor by a belt which is passed over the fan belt so that said governor may be quickly and easily rendered active or inactive.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a diagrammatic side view showing my invention in use on the. motor of a tractor.

Figure 2 is a front view.

Figure 3 is a sectional view overnor means.

Figure 4 is a cross sectional viewthrough such means.

Figures 5, 6 and .7. are detail views.

In these views 1 indicates the motor which is provided with the usual carburetcr 2, the throttle on said carburetor being controlled by the throttle rod 3. The pulley 4 on the c: ank shaft. of the engine connected with the fan pulley 5 by the belt 6 as usual.

In carrying out my invention I provide a bracket 7 which is held in place by two large bolts on the timer gear housing. This bracket is provided with an arch 8 in which is journuled the governor 9. This governor may be of any desired construction and will not he described in detail. This governor carries a gear 10 which is in mesh with a through the gear 11 on the horizontal shaft 12. jourualed in the bracket, and carrying at its outer end the pulley iii. A belt l-l passes ever this pulley and over the pulleys 4 and a part of said belt engaging a part of the belt ll. A pulley 15 is adjustably mounted on the lower part of the. bracket for placing tension on the belt H and holding said belt out of contact with a part of the motor. lt will thus be seen that when the belt 14 is in place the governor will be actuated by the motor.

A horizontal shaft ll) is placed :i't'one side of the motor with its front end journalcd in the bracket 7 and its other end journaled in a bracket 17 which is suitably attached to the rear part of the motor. This shaft has connected thereto an arm 18 which projects under the vertically movable rod 19 ot' the governor so that as the weighted arms of the governor swingoutwardly and move said rod downwardlv it will swing the arm l8 downwardlr and thus rock the shaft. it). This shalt is connected with the throttle rod 3 by means of the rods 20 and it. ()ne of these rods is adjustahly connected with the shaft to by the sleeve. 24) formed at its lower end by the set screw 20". The upper end o'l this rod is connected with the lower end of the rod 21 and the upper end of the rod 21 is detaehably counccted with the bracket 22. said bracket being clamped to the rod 3 so that it may be adjusted on said rod.

It will thus be seen that as the shaft is rocked by the governor the throttle rod will be also rocked and thus the throttle actuated to reduce the speed.

The arm 18 is kept in engagement with the governor rod by means of a spring 23 on the projecting end of the slaft and having one end connected therewith and its other end connected to a small ratchet wheel 24 on said shaft.- This ratchet wheel is held in adjusted position by a dog net-ted with a part. of the bracket. By this means the tension of the spring can be adjusted so that the action of the governor on the shaft may be controlled.

The governor may be thrown out of action by removing the belt 14 or the shaft 16 may be disconnected from the throttle rod by disconnecting the rods 20 and 21 from the shaft.

My device is primarily intended for use when the, tractor is being used for belt work,

25 conand will prevent racing of the motor when the load is removed. It also acts to keep the motor running at a uniform speed, such speed being regulated by the tension placed on the spring.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I (esire it to be understood that I mav make changes in the construction and in the con'ibination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

"hat I claim is 1. In combination with an intemal combustion motor and its fan driving means, a bracket supported by the motor frame, a governor supported by said bracket, a shaft geared to said governor and journalcd in the bracket, a pulley on said shaft, a belt connecting said pulley with the fan driving means. a rock shaft having one end journaled in the bracket, a second bracket supported by the motor frame in which the other end of the shaft is journaled, an arm on said shaft extending under the governor rod, means for adjusting the action of the governor on said shaft and means for connecting said shaft with the throttle rod.

2. In combination with an internal combustion motor and its fan driving means, a

bracket connected with the front of the motor frame, a governor carried by said bracket, a shaft journaled in said bracket and geared to the governor, a pulley on said shaft, means for connecting the pulley with the fan driving means, a bracket supported at the rear of the motor frame, a rock shaft journaled in the brackets; arms connecting said shaft with the throttle rod, an arm on said shaft extending under the governor rod, :1 spring on said shaft having one end connected thereto, a ratchet wheel on the shaft connected with the other end of the spring and a dog for holding said wheel in ad }'usted position.

n testimony whereof I affix my signature.

ELMER J. ANDERSON.
